STATPURE CV 20MG CAPSULE 10'S

How STATPURE CV 20MG CAPSULE 10'S Works

• STATPURE CV 20MG CAPSULE 10'S is a combination medication containing atorvastatin and clopidogrel. These two active ingredients work together through different mechanisms to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attack and stroke.
• Atorvastatin belongs to a class of drugs called statins, or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. It primarily works by inhibiting an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase in the liver. This enzyme is crucial for the production of cholesterol. By blocking this enzyme, atorvastatin reduces the amount of cholesterol produced by the liver. This leads to a decrease in the levels of LDL-cholesterol (often called 'bad' cholesterol) in the bloodstream. High levels of LDL-cholesterol can lead to the formation of plaques in the arteries (atherosclerosis), increasing the risk of heart disease. Atorvastatin also helps to increase the levels of HDL-cholesterol (often called 'good' cholesterol), which helps to remove cholesterol from the arteries.
• Clopidogrel, on the other hand, is an antiplatelet agent. Platelets are small cells in the blood that help to form blood clots. In certain conditions, such as atherosclerosis, platelets can become overly active and clump together, forming clots that can block arteries and lead to heart attack or stroke. Clopidogrel works by blocking a receptor on the surface of platelets called the P2Y12 receptor. This receptor is responsible for activating platelets when they are exposed to a substance called ADP (adenosine diphosphate). By blocking this receptor, clopidogrel prevents platelets from clumping together and forming unwanted blood clots. This helps to keep the blood flowing smoothly and reduces the risk of arterial blockage.
• In summary, STATPURE CV 20MG CAPSULE 10'S works through a dual mechanism. Atorvastatin lowers cholesterol levels, reducing the formation of plaques in the arteries, while clopidogrel prevents platelet aggregation, reducing the risk of blood clots. This combination provides a comprehensive approach to reducing the risk of cardiovascular events in individuals at risk.

Common side effects of STATPURE CV 20MG CAPSULE may include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea, gas, headache, dizziness, muscle pain, weakness, increased blood sugar, elevated liver enzymes, and allergic reactions like rash or itching. Less common but more serious side effects can include severe muscle problems (rhabdomyolysis), liver damage, and new-onset diabetes. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience dark urine, persistent muscle pain or weakness, yellowing of the eyes or skin, or any other unusual symptoms.
